First Person: Search for new hobby goes into uncharted territory Joe Fusco Jr. When you retire during a pandemic, you need to find ‘hobbies.’ One of my retired friends is learning to play guitar through You Tube lessons. Another is re-reading every book in her home-library alphabetically. Still another just stays on Facebook all day and rants politically. I’m into Senior Grooming! My hair is longer and curls around my ears that I pluck nightly. My feet enjoy a monthly pedicure. I strive for that permanent 5 o’clock shadow that Ben Affleck and Tom Brady model. Like 62% of men surveyed, I manscape below the belt.
